SAP Hybris - Disable NPM Ancillary during build 2105

Stop NPM Execution in SAP Hybris from OOB Package

Most of us installing SAP Commerce in local machine or in production system including lower environments like Dev, QA and STAGE. 

From 2105 onwards during the build hybris use to download all the dependencies related to NPM to configure smartedit locally and allow us to customize it.

But main problem is, most of us working in closed environments where downloading third party dependencies can be challenging and in some cases it is impossible. 

Second problem with this auto setup is NPM dependencies use to create tons of files which are not useful and nothing to do with higher and lower environments. But its increases system builds and deployment time too much.

So now there are two ways to skip this in local machine.

If you are already running hybris system and upgrading, it to 2105 onwards then paste below files in local.properties

personalizationsmartedit.smartedittools.config=false smartedit.smartedittools.config=no personalizationsearchsmartedit.smartedittools.config=false personalizationpromotionssmartedit.smartedittools.config=false cmssmartedit.smartedittools.config=false merchandisingsmartedit.smartedittools.config=false
If you are using installer recipe, then move to installer folder and edit build.gradel

property 'smartedit.smartedittools.config', 'no' property 'personalizationsearchsmartedit.smartedittools.config', 'false' property 'personalizationpromotionssmartedit.smartedittools.config', 'false' property 'cmssmartedit.smartedittools.config', 'false' property 'merchandisingsmartedit.smartedittools.config', 'false' property 'initialpassword.admin', 'nimda'
Disabling groovyc Forking for extensions

Disable groovyc forking for selected extensions if you encounter compilation errors when building SAP Commerce in long installation directories. This you can add into your local.properties file.

For Example:
b2bocctests.groovyc.fork=false b2bpunchoutocctests.groovyc.fork=false configurablebundleocctests.groovyc.fork=false customerticketingocctests.groovyc.fork=false textfieldconfiguratortemplateocctests.groovyc.fork=false odata2webservices.groovyc.fork=false
